Into the mirror I see I am six, I am thirteen, I am nineteen and twenty three I look into mirror and inside I see The exact same heart, Staring back at me.
I cross continents Over oceans large and seas So much I run Addresses cant keep up with me I change trains Jobs and people I see I look into the mirror The same heart staring at me.
The earth has turned around A thousand plus and more The moon has built bridges- I remain stranger to the shore
I look into the mirror I am fourteen and twenty eight Unfolding into myself I was thirty when I was eight.
The beast was never asleep It was us The cobwebs were there But we did not see, Now the sun has risen- The truth stands sad and tall We have awakened, Upon the empire's fall.
Four blue jays and twenty-one geese A hawk, a starling, Seagulls away from sea-- I read you like a letter A haiku in Spring I heard you like soft Autumn walk And clouds not wanting to be still I heard you in the wind, When it blew in from the North A crisp clean chill An announcement Of endings and beginnings I saw you in the Sun that did not last I saw you in the expectant Moon that came Made way for darkness and dawn Then gave it all up to the wind And I flew.
I heard myself - And my voice I recognized, As the voice that speaks But not mine. I became aware of hearing. But who is this inside? Who it is that insults my soul? Speaking to me in words That are not mine.
The boat has reached the shore The sharp rocks of the edge Cutting quietly under water
The wind is still, Letting the sun sing its chorus- Rising or setting Colors are the same in the sky A bit more time will tell On which side of the Earth am I.
